INVENTION TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention is a band that adapts to the human body and is used to carry personal objects when doing exercise, traveling or carrying out daily activities.

INVENTION OBJECTIVE

The invention objective is to carry out in a safety way, personal items and have access to them in any time in a quick way, without the need of a bag, a briefcase, pack or pockets of the dress or accessories requiring the use of the hands to carry them.

BACKGROUND

Nowadays, and since a few time ago, there are bags used on the back known as “back-packs” that allow to hold personal objects. It is a bag which most of the time is opened by a zipper. It has straps that hold up the shoulders. Another example is the belt bag known with many names according to the region, for example in Mexico is known as “cangurera” or in the United States of America as “waist bag” or “belt pack”; this is, a personal object holder for a rapid access. One more example is bags used to travel known as fanny bags or safe bags to carry the belongings as well as important documents during a trip and mainly money. They are used inside the clothes.

Technical Problem to be Resolved

Although there are devices to carry items, these present a problem as the term backpack says it; everything is carried on the back and in order to use the device items it is necessary to take it off. Then take out the object to be used, use it and put it back to later continue using it. On one hand, taking items on the back does not let the user have a visual contact all the time; in order to have access, it is necessary to take them away and then find the object, put them again, even more when the person is riding a bicycle, for example, it is practically impossible to be constantly using them.

Regarding the carriers known as “cangurera”, everything is mixed making uncomfortable and slow to find any belonging. Moreover, forms a bulk which if it is used to the front, back or to one side of the waist, can be a nuisance, heavy after some time it has been used. On the other hand, discrete devices make difficult to get them in a rapid way and in order to use them it is necessary to be in a private place. If they are used outside the clothes they are no longer “discrete” above all when something valuable has to be taken with the person.

Other products, if they are well done to carry belongings, they are also nuisance and in some cases uncomfortable plus being an easy target for alien people. They are products separate from the user, this is, and the user does not have all the time its total control.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

When it is necessary to bring personal objects as a cell phone, a wallet, a music recorder, keys, identification cards, coins, a passport, visa, plane or train tickets, a check book, etc. While travelling, doing exercise, running, riding a bicycle, playing golf, skating, weight lifting, etc., or when walking in the city, getting into the subway, bus, airplane, etc. And being able all the time to take total control of said belongings; this object holder band has been developed to resolve all this. This device adjusts to the body in such a way that leaves to the front in both sides of the chest, the compartment for the personal objects. These are hold up when they are united in the upper part behind the neck and in the lower part of the lumbar zone of the back forming this way a unique element. It is used on the clothes and it is hidden whenever a sweater, a vest, a jacket is used so once it is used it can become so discrete that it can be unnoticed due to the clothes.

The frontal belt (10) is a sole enlarged body where different zones are defined by diverse thicknesses and axial as well as folding in longitudinal direction. One of these zones is the collar pad (10 a); it is an object with an appropriate material avoiding lacerations to the neck of the bearer having a semicircular form, but that also can change into a more comfortable geometry when it is put on the back of the neck at the cervical vertebra zone of the trapezium muscle and shoulders of the user, in such a way that in the same use there is an arch form configuration in one direction at half the length of the frontal belt (10) and the ends in an arch form, in the opposite direction when they are located on the shoulders of the bearer forming straps (10 b), as it is observed in FIG. 1.

Other zone of the frontal belt are the straps (10 b), consisting of a pair of enlarged vertical bodies defining a right frontal strap and a left frontal strap, where each one of them is united at its higher end with the opposite ends of the collar pad (10 a) as it is shown in FIG. 2; moreover, these straps (10 b) have in their lower ends, tying elements (20) known as buckles or means for bonding and hooking straps or belts known as Velcro®. Throughout said straps (10 b) there is a series of pockets with closing elements such as kind of tongues or lapels, said closing elements with sealed means such as Velcro®, buttons, zippers or clasps and similar ones. Pockets in frontal straps can be adjusted to the user needs. In an illustrative way, the different elements may have an arrangement, for example: to the frontal face and next to the right side end of one of the frontal straps (10 b) a general compartment/pocket can be found (11) consisting of an enlarged and vertical housing according to the strap length (10 b) where it is located. In the front face and next to the right lateral edge, counts with a vertical opening and closing mode kind of zipper but that can also be changed into buttons, Velcro® straps, buckles, laces or any way to allow containing safety belongings in a closed configuration as it is shown in FIG. 1 and having an open configuration as it is shown in FIG. 1A. Within the general compartment (11) internal compartments can be found (not illustrated), with access horizontal Access and arranged in a vertical alignment; it is optional to have combinations allowing to vary the number of internal compartments (not illustrated) and in the vertical access type as well as containing lids as lapels with openings and closing modes made like Velcro® contact straps, buttons, zippers and other similar one helping to secure the belongings. Likewise, the lids can change into a geometry allowing contain the belongings.

In the front face and substantially centered in another of the straps (10 b) there are vertically distributed compartments through this strap (10 b); a superior compartment (12 a) with horizontal opening and closing like the lapel with Velcro® straps like; below there is a left down compartment (12 b), with a vertical opening and closing in the left low internal end as a lapel or tongue with Velcro® like straps at the edges, as it is shown in FIG. 1A. Both compartments (12 a) and (12 b) may change in amount and access form and contain opening and closing modes of buttons, zippers, laces or other means helping to make secure belongings stay together. Likewise, can change its rectangular form to hexagonal, pentagonal or any other geometry allowing contain the belongings. In the lower part of the straps (10 b) can change a descending straight geometry to a curve in order to generate a horizontal section (10 c), to locate in the side part of the users back as it is shown in FIG. 7A; in the free end of these horizontal sections (10 c) tying means can be found (20), that for illustrative purposes some buckles will be described (21). These elements are found between the material, at the middle part, between the external part and the internal one being hindered at simple sight as it is known in the technique. Each buckle (21) is internally held with its respective (10 b) strap. To each strap end (10 b) in the internal part that is in contact with the body, together with the Velcro® like straps, being first ready a section with the part that contains hooks and in second place and to all the center a section with the part that contains padlocks or flush.

The lumbar belt (30) is an enlarged body as it is shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 6, and can have rear compartments (31); as an example, three compartments can be: a central one (31 a) and two side ones (31 b) ready in a horizontal way, with an opening and closing like lapels to form a housing to which it can be accessed once these lapels are opened as it is shown in FIG. 6; having Velcro® like straps which can change in number, access type, orientation containing opening and closing modes as buttons, zippers, laces and other means helping to contain secure belongings and combinations of the same. Likewise, they can change their rectangular form to a hexagonal, triangular, pentagonal or any other geometry allowing containing the belongings;

Regarding each end of the lumbar belt (30) in its internal part, it counts with Velcro® like straps, first place a section with cloth containing hooks is ready and in second place and to the center, a section with cloth containing padlocks or plush.

Optionally, the compartments of this object holder band may have Access free from lapels to allow a rapid Access to them, what will depend on the needs and requirements of the user or they may be equally removed.

The union element (20) between the frontal belt (10) and the lumbar belt (30) can be a commercial path buckle (21) of general use but that also can change to buttons, zippers, laces or any other means letting both pieces be united. In said buckle (21) a hold-up strap goes to another side (13) consisting of an extension of the low end of the straps (10 b) which has hold-up mode (not illustrated) of Velcro® strap like but that also can change into buttons, zippers, laces or any other means allowing to hold up and adjust the desired size. From the other side of the buckle (21) one hold-up end passes to an end (33) consisting of one extension of the distal ends of the lumbar belt (30) as it is shown in FIG. 5, which has hold-up mode (not illustrated) with Velcro® straps but that also can change to buttons, zippers, laces or any other means allowing to hold up and adjust the desired size.

The object holder band counts with two accessories, elastic strap (40) and a rear bag (50), as it is shown in FIG. 2B. The elastic strap (40) is a stretch of elastic material having in each end a first clasp component (41) of a union element like a clasp to connect with the second clasp component (not illustrated) located in the internal part of the straps (10 b) in the transition curve connecting the horizontal sections (10 c) which will be located behind each one of the users as it is shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 7A. These clasp elements may be changed by other kind of buttons, zippers, laces or any other one letting frontal straps be straight (10 b) y (10 c) the rear bag (50) is an accessory to keep belongings of bigger size counting with a union superior section (51), din such a way that in the higher face is found a first component of a tying means (not illustrated) that can be like the one of the so well known Velcro®, so it units the lower face of the collar pad (10 a) since in this face a second component can be found of the tying means (not illustrated); on the other hand, the lower end of the rear bag (50) counts with a union lower section (52) in such a way that in the external face there is a first component of a tying means (not illustrated) that can be of the so called Velcro®, so it units to the internal face of the lumbar belt (30) since in this face there is a second component of the tying means (not illustrated), in such a way that an assembly is generated as it is shown in FIG. 2B. The union of the rear bag (50) with the collar pad (10 a) with the lumbar belt (30) can be with union elements like Velcro® but that can change to buckle, buttons, zippers, laces or any other means allowing to keep together both parties while it is desire to equally separate them as a convenience.
